Closing a position
Pausing or deleting a bot leaves its position open. What each control does, and how to close through Nyria or at your broker.
If you need to be flat right now, close the position at your broker.
What each control does
| You do this | The bot | Your open position |
|---|---|---|
| Pause | ignores every alert, exits included | stays open |
| Delete with something open | switches to Closing only: takes exit alerts, skips entries | stays open until an exit closes it |
| Delete with nothing open | is removed | nothing to close |
| Remove account in Integrations | is deleted. Connect the same account again within 30 days and the bot comes back | stays open |
Deleting a strategy with trades open works the same way. The strategy and every bot on it switch to Closing only. Exit alerts still reach those bots. Entry alerts are refused and logged on the strategy, not on the bot. An alert that would flip a position closes the old side and opens nothing.
Closing through Nyria
On a strategy you own
Open the strategy, open the ⋯ menu and select Close positions.
The dialog lists every open position on the strategy, one row per position (a spread is one row). Tick the ones to close and select Close N positions.
Nyria closes each one exactly as an exit alert would. Resting entry orders are canceled and filled positions are closed, on every bot following the strategy, your members' bots included. Closing-only bots take part. A paused bot, or one whose broker is disconnected, does not. You can use it on a strategy that is itself closing only.
On a strategy you copy
There is no close button for a copied strategy. Wait for the creator's exit alert, or close at your broker.
Closing at your broker
Sign in to your broker and close the position there. Then pause or delete the bot, so a later exit alert doesn't try to close a position that is already gone. If one arrives anyway, the bot logs a Skipped row saying there was no position to close, and places nothing.
Close at the broker whenever the bot can't do it for you. For example, the bot is paused, its broker is disconnected, or the creator never sent an exit.
Before you pause or delete
- On the dashboard, select the positions open banner. It shows whenever something is open and takes you to Live now, a read-only list of every open position across your live and paper bots.
- Close anything you don't want left running, using either method above.
- Pause or delete the bot.
If you pause first, nothing is left to close the position. A closing-only bot still takes an exit, but only when the strategy sends one.
